More About the Author

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.


Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today.

His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Awesome OSHO book - this one on Kundalini...., December 4, 2005

By 

Loco Sonador "Xango" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Search of the Miraculous: Chakras, Kundalini and the Seven Bodies (Paperback)

I spend 8 years of my life with Osho (1982-1990) and can testify to the fact that he had an absolutely transformative effect on thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands)of people. On the surface, he was an outlandish fun-loving guru, with a wicked sense of humor and a carnival-like ashram atmosphere around him. Beneath the surface, he was a master alchemist working on very subtle and profound levels of consciousness with many of his disciples.

This book (which has some of the talks included in the original version: "The Mystic Experience") deals with those subtle levels that you begin to experience once you go DEEP into meditation. "Kundalini", "Chakras", "Energy Bodies" "Prana" cease to be theories and instead become lived realities. For any serious meditator following the path of "kundalini", "yoga", "tantra" or any of the Indian spiritual traditions, I highly recommend this book as it deals with the experiences that will happen to you, as you go deeper in your meditative practice.

The original version of this book: "The Mystic Experience" by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh published in 1977 in India, includes more talks on this subject matter that aren't included in this text. The original version is 543 pages long and is highly recommended (if you can find it).

As to all the doubters: take it from someone who was there, with him in the flesh - Osho was a Mount Everest among spiritual masters. His energy was (and continues to be in esoteric realms) of such magnitude as to be indescribable. Words cannot describe the Oceanic Vastness of his vibrational presence.

I am profoundly grateful to this man who revolutionized my life and the life of so many others who came to know him, and who continue to access his spirit through his legacy.
The true meaning of this book cannot be understood by the intellect. To truly grasp what this book is talking about, you will have to undertake your own meditative journey. To all seekers and lovers of Osho, Godspeed!!! May you come to know his blessings!

5.0 out of 5 stars A mind-bending book., February 21, 2001

By 

Sangeet Duchane (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Search of the Miraculous: Chakras, Kundalini and the Seven Bodies (Paperback)

This the most clear and precise explanation of the chakra and energy body system I have ever seen. This book explains the process of spiritual growth, the levels of enlightenment, practices such as sexual Tantra, and many other topics in a direct, no-nonsense way. The amount of information is staggering, and you will get new insights each time you read the book.

In light of the first review, I would point out that this book was originally published in 1977 under the title The Mystic Experience, and was not a commentary on Ospensky's book In Search of the Miraculous.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Ever Written on Chakras,Kundalini, & 7 Bodies., September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Search of the Miraculous: Chakras, Kundalini and the Seven Bodies (Paperback)

Osho has written a masterpiece of secret esoteric knowledge about man and his spiritual evolution. Osho (a genuine realized spiritual master) reveals so much profound truth that it will awaken the reader to the "real" truth about himself and his destiny.

Another realized spiritual master that reveals and explains how to achieve spiritual growth is Sri Chinmoy in his books (especially "Beyond Within" and "Meditation").
